Le faisceau ionique focalisé permet d’obtenir une surface d’analyse très plane et dénuée de déformations mécaniques. De plus, la différence qui existe entre les taux de gravure des matériaux induit un contraste de nature topographique entre les phases. La topographie est ensuite mesurée à l'aide d’un microscope à force atomique et les images obtenues permettent d’analyser avec précision la géométrie autour de la ligne triphasée. 2, record 1, French, - faisceau%20d%27ions%20focalis%C3%A9

Serological surveys are commonly used to study the epidemiology of infectious diseases. Serological samples taken at a certain time point provide information about whether or not the individual has been infected before that time point. In practice, antibodies which were formed in response to an infecting organism are identified in the serum. 5, record 2, English, - serological%20survey
